CSFT MASSAGE

Cerebrospinal Fluid Technique Massage (CSFTM) is a powerful, revolutionary new massage procedure. The clinical objective of "CSFTM" is to free up the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) around the cerebrospinal axis comprised of the brain and spinal cord. The effect is totally distinct from any other type of massage procedure.

Dr. Don Glassey, LMT, Founder of Cerebrospinal Fluid Technique (CSFT), developed the "CSFTM" procedure by studying the effect of various Swedish Massage strokes on CSF flow. Drawing upon his experience, knowledge and expertise as the Developer of "CSFT", Dr. Glassey has applied the principles of "CSFT", and the science of impeded CSF circulation to Swedish Massage. It is  Dr. Glassey's revolutionary theory that CSF is the fluid of life, life force (Ki, Chi, Prana) of the body.

The "CSFTM procedure" uses variations of the major categories of Swedish massage strokes including effleurage, petrissage, friction, and tapotement. These Swedish massage stroke variations emphasize certain parameters: a specific amount of pressure, pace of the stroke, and a designated angle when applying the stroke. These guidelines are designed to free up areas of impeded CSF circulation around the cerebrospinal axis. The procedure also addresses massaging particular muscles whose action facilitates the CSF pumping mechanisms, as well as certain spinal, cranial, and other muscles.

The sole purpose and objective of "CSFTM" is to "awaken" the flow of the CSF to release the healing power of the body. This procedure facilitates the CSF through a variety of practitioner-friendly  massage strokes to induce optimum circulation.

The  "Cerebrospinal  Technique  Massage"  procedure  is featured in  the  recently  published McGraw-Hill  new  1,000  page  massage/bodywork  textbook  entitled  "New  Foundations in Therapeutic  Massage and  Bodywork"  by  Saeger and  Brown  in  the  "Modalities" Section, and  is available  through  Barnes and Noble or  Amazon.com.
